This past July I was fortunate enough to head to Tokyo, Japan to visit a friend who had been living over there.
With a couple of friends, we seeked out Ebisu circuit, North of Tokyo.

Each year they hold a “Drift Matsuri” which is a festival of sorts. This video is very, very cool.

No problem! But could you help me out by making a link to my blog: okidokyo.com

About the drift matsuri:
November 13 and 14, another crazy drift matsuri took place at Ebisu Circuit in Japan. This drifting event is one-of-kind, pretty much anything is allowed, just use your head a little.

People buy special “drift missiles” (very cheap drift cars) not having to worry about damaging it. This makes this drift event so special and allows people to really go to the limit and a lot of times over the limit. This is the ultimate way to learn drifting.

The atmosphere at this event is just amazing, making it a very worth while event to visit even when not drifting.

This is my first time making a video with a DSLR (Canon 550D), still have to get the hang of manual focus, shutter-speed etc etc. But that’s what makes it more fun!
